WANTS TO KNOW SOMETHING OF OUR
SECTLON.-We continue to receive enqui-
ries about the proposed industrial issue of
the GOLD LEAF, and requests come from a
distance for copies when it is published.
Last evenings mail brought us letter
from W. L. Few, Jr,, of Lockport, New
York, stating that number of friends of
his would leave in few weeks for Vir-
ginia and North Carolina to see the country
and examine lands with view to coming
South to live, and he wanted copy Of the
GOLD LEAF that he might be able to form
some opinion of Henderson and its sur
roundings. Now if a few thousand copies
of that industrial issue could be put into
the hands of such people there is no telling
the amount of good they would do in at
tracing capital and settlers here

Professor Lowanda gave exhibitions in
Burwell Hall Monday and Tuesday nights
to densely crowded houses. To the masses
it was highly satisfactory, but we would be
recreant to the duty of journalist were
we to fail to say that it was not of a char
acter TO be appreciated by enlightened or
moral people. Apart from the immodesty,
!; the introduction of blacked-up man upon
! terms of familiarity with white girl in

social equality doctrine to meet approval
from Southern audience. The perform

THE LAW OF COLLECTING TAxEs.-Here
is something of interest to every tax payer
in the county The Pittsboro Record says :
The last Legislature passed a more
stringent law for the collection of taxes
than any we have ever before known in
this State. BY its provisions the sheriff Or
tax col lector of every county is not allowed
to use his discretion, but is compelled to
sell at public auction, on the first Monday
of February, all lands on which any tax
for preceding year may be due. Hereto
fore the sheriffs of the several counties
have been very indulgent and would delay
selling land for ia XeS for months after the
tax was due, but hereafter they are not
allowed to grant this indulgence but are
compelled to sell Oh the first Monday in
February
